Man's Best Fashion Friend

Male models can get really tiresome to look at. All that perfect definition and symmetry... yawn. What the internet and fashion world both need is a roleMODEL who encompasses both style and utter cuteness. Someone your average Joe can look at and think "Yeah, he looks cool. I like his jacket. We could be friends". Best friends even.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Menswear Dog:


Not sure how to work the new turtleneck this winter? Meanswear Dog will show you how. Wondering if mixed prints work as well off the runway as they do on? Menswear Dog will ensure you don't make a fool of yourself. Have a school reunion coming up and have NOTHING TO WEAR? I hear you, and so does Menswear Dog. 

Thank god for the internet, right?

Sketchy Street Style

The fascination with the well-dressed and anonymous continues. However, not with another photographer trawling the streets to capture the young, hip and hot; this time it is slightly more covert. 

A photographic memory replaces the photographs. Artist Leo Greenfield commits the sartorially interesting to memory then later rehashes that memory as an illustration. A gorgeous idea with beautiful results. Based in Melbourne, we are granted an observer's view of the style set. From bearded bar staff to pretty girls on bikes, rad dads and fashion party patrons. 

"His drawings concentrate on documentation and communication, as he illustrates from memory the ever-changing space of street life and culture. On paper Greenfield impresses the silhouette and patterns of contemporary dressing, subsequently creating intimate social portraits of places and their communities."

Greenfield sees the art in dressing well. Quite literally.

Escape to Rio

A glimpse of the faraway and exotic. Time of Rio by MOOV, an image studio based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a first taste of a larger project which is to explore the city's natural and built environment. Lindo maravilhoso!
